Is it true that chugging a glass of ice cold water burns 100 calories?

Answer 1

Nope. Not true.

A calorie is the amount of energy needed to heat 1 liter of water 1 degree celsius. If you chugged an entire liter of water, the most you would "burn" would be 37 calories. But, that's a lot of water, and it really doesn't work that way.

Concentrate on diet and exercise habits, and you will burn calories. Water is great, and you should be looking for 8 glasses a day (64 ounces). Just be weary of any gimic to lose weight - if it worked, we'd all be doing it.

Answer 2

It burns calories, but nowhere near the 100 mark. If it were 100 calories, then people could drop weight so fast it'd be crazy. The reason why you burn a small amount of calories drinking cold water is that given that your body temperature is higher than the water, the act of heating the water up actually requires energy, which is where the calorie expenditure comes from.

Answer 3

I am not sure of how many calories it burns but it does burn some. The water is ice cold and the body has to work to warm it up before digesting. I do like your 100 calorie thought.

Answer 4

I don't think its 100 calories but it does burn some calories doing this since its gotta work harder to bring down the temp. of the water.

Answer 5

Ive heard that too, i think of people ought to renounce being skeptical the assumption is that, by skill of eating ice chilly water, your physique tries its terrific to warmth up the chilly fluid in ur physique. hence, it makes use of greater potential into making it warm, so u use greater warmth potential, in different words, energy this could be actual, inspite of the incontrovertible fact that it does sound actual, whether i wouldnt say 2 hundred energy... perhaps some, im not sure wish it helped x
